BACKGROUND

This disclosure relates to a restickable or reattachable mirror that canbe used with an electronic consumer product, including but not limitedto smart phones, tablets, media players, PDAs and the like. Morespecifically, the disclosure relates to a restickable or reattachablemirror that can be attached to, removed from and reattached to theelectronic consumer product multiples times without leaving anyperceivable residue.

SUMMARY

The restickable mirror provides a convenient replacement of a pocketmirror or a bag mirror, which saves a user from the trouble of searchingthe user's pockets or bags. The restickable mirror is typically tightlyattached to a surface of the electronic consumer product or an externalsurface of a casing of the electronic consumer product to provide thenormal functions of a mirror. The restickable mirror can be attached toany suitable surface of the electronic consumer product or any suitableexternal surface of the casing of the electronic consumer product. Therestickable mirror can be reused with all brands and materials of thecasing or cover of the electronic devices. For example, the restickablemirror can be attached to a rear surface of a case of a smart phone. Forexample, before the user intends to take his/her own photos (also knownas “selfie”) using the smart phone, the user may want to check make-upor hair. Instead of searching for a pocket mirror, the user can simplyturn his/her smart phone around and use the restickable mirror, whichsaves the user's time and also provides convenience to the user.

Furthermore, the restickable mirror can be reused. The restickablemirror has an adhesive coating, which can be provided on the rearsurface of the mirror. The adhesive coating is properly selected toallow the restickable mirror to be tightly attached to, readily removedfrom and tightly reattached to different electronic devices or casingsof the electronic devices, without leaving any perceivable residue. Forexample, as the user obtain a new smart phone, the user can still keepthe restickable mirror and use it with the new phone. The adhesive ofthe coating is a restickable adhesive that is customized for therestickable mirror.

In addition, the restickable mirror provides decorations to theelectronic device and thus, enhances the aesthetics of the electronicdevice. The restickable mirror can be of any suitable shape, color orsize. For example, the restickable mirror includes a peripheral frame,which can be designed to show diamond-like ornaments that can be of anysuitable color. The shape of the peripheral frame can be various, whichincludes but is not limited to oval, round, square, rectangle, triangleor any suitable polygon. The profile of the peripheral frame can becurvy, straight or the combination thereof.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF EXEMPLARY EMBODIMENTS

For clarity, the disclosure applies like reference numerals to likestructures throughout the figures. Moreover, terms used for structuresand elements of the embodiments are given their common meaning unlessotherwise defined herein.

FIGS. 1-4 depict a restickable mirror 100, according to the firstembodiment of the disclosure. The restickable mirror 100 includes aperipheral frame 120, which provides a rear surface and a recess of themirror. A mirror part 140 can be mounted into the recess of the mirrorand substantially surrounded by the frame 120. The frame 120 is providedwith a plurality of ornaments 160, as shown. For example, the frame 120can be formed to show a silver plated frame; the ornaments 160 can bedesigned and formed to show a plurality of crystal-like articles.
